Alzheimer's Disease is a thief that gradually robs your mind. There are several medications that can slow down the process but to this day there is no cure. It has a huge impact on the family. My father died 2 years ago after many years of having to watch him decline. He was a well loved Pediatrician. My mother and I kept him at home as long as we could and 2 years later he passed away. This Group will discuss the medical part of this disease and also the impact on the family

THE BENEFITS OF THE MORINGA LEAF It could be said without any doubt that from the pure Moringa Tree Leaf we can get very good benefits for the health, which are very much reported in studies of the leaf. It is the organic, natural, endurance and energy supplement of health. In other words, it’s the ultimate thing. And the post beneficial and purest part of the plant is the powdered Moringa leaf.
According to the annals of the ayurveda, India’s old tradition of medicines, the leaves of the Moringa Tree could treat at least 300 diseases.
Moringa leaf has no proven bad effects and is absolutely safe and organic. Because of its tolerant properties, it has been given to malnourished little babies in Africa. Athletes all over the world boost their performance abilities by taking huge quantities of the leaf to keep them fit both mentally and physically. It is their secret weapon. Even for senior citizens who are losing their sharpness of mind, the Moringa tree leaf could be a great help. In fact the powder is suitable for people from any age group.
The Moringa leaf is comparatively an unheard name in spite of the fact that it has been found mentioned more than two thousand years before, and the World Health Organization has been observing and utilizing the tree for more than forty years now as a cheap health supplement in the poverty-stricken countries the world over. There is a reason behind this. The selling of all kinds of health supplements, minerals and vitamins is a lucrative business. No big company would ever take the risk of introducing a name that could potentially harm and lower the sale of all other nutritional items. The same holds water for the pharmaceutical countries too. These huge companies would prefer to keep the general public in the dark about the benefits of the Moringa leaf to make big bucks for their own.

I think I am as overbearing as your mother. I just realized I need to let up a little too. Yes it is frustrating and overwhelming, but like you said, we need to "let go of the little things!" I think I will take action and "let go" and enjoy my father's company than to dwell on the hardship alzheimer's causes families.
Thanks for the wonderful insight!

My Noni is 81 years old. She has no clue what time it is, what day it is, what she ate for lunch, if she had lunch (or any other meal for that matter). She spends most of her days vegging in her easy-chair, staring at the Tv, not in any realm of time. Grampa is 90 years old. He suffers plain aging demensia. It cracks him up that he can't remember details. It scares him and frustrates him that he can't leave the house (or drive-at all) without telling someone other than Noni. Both recognize all of us, appreciate us. BLESSING!! What bothers me most is the way my mom is handling them. She is putting herself, her needs and desires for her parents on them, and they just aren't capable. She isn't comming to terms with their melting minds. I keep telling her that, "It is what it is." They have good days and bad. They don't remember anything, ever, and aren't going to. The disease is what it is. I pray for my mom more than my grandparents; they are contented with eachother. My mom is the one tormented. Her anger and frustration has built an air of gloom and overbearing wardenship around them. She treats them like children, when in my opinion, she should treat them like beautiful birds in a majestic cage. Feed 'em, talk to 'em, play with 'em, keep 'em safe, and let them breath free on occasion. Don't condemn them, lecture them, or belittle their intentions. IT DOESN'T HELP. Prayer helps. Giving to God what we don't understand and can't change, helps. I pray my mom figures this out before my grandparents die. I'd like her to enjoy what time she has left with them.

My father is 78-years-old and has Alzheimer's dementia. In January, 2009, I put him in the nursing home in the Alzheimer's unit. However, there were too many incidents of "unexplained bruising and minor injuries." After awhile, I was overwhelmed with guilt because my father was a non-violent, gentle, caring, christian role model, so I brought him home in June. There are days when he is agitated, stubborn, and just plain old hardship (on me), but I'm THANKFUL for the days I have with him, and thank GOD for giving me a loving father, because I miss my mom (may she rest in peace!) I hope that he will be with me for a long time, and that I have the strength, wisdom, patience, and understanding to provide proper care and give my unconditional love in making his last few years as comfortable as the life he gave me.
